    Sighthound

    As an update, recently left town for about two weeks and left Sighthound do its thing. Apart from the occasional false alarm (90% due to the cameras flipping the IR on or off), it's been very reliable. I have to say that the app is very good still, and I'm impressed by how fast it works. The...

    Refund Finally! Is there anything to be done to get this 2332 to work?

    Good to hear this is all working itself out!

    How do I know if my setup is secure from outside intrusions? Aka hacking into camera?

    Re: How do I know if my setup is secure from outside intrusions? Aka hacking into cam It's a pain, but you could only forward the ports if you are out of town or if you really need to watch remotely for the day or for a few hours. Then, when back home, close the ports again.

    PoE switch/smart switch

    So far, so good. It has been over 100F for two weeks straight in my garage and the switch has not missed a beat.

    Failed Motion Detection - Car broken into...

    Not good. That is why I have Sighthound set up so that it records everything 24x7 for 72 hours, and the rest is motion only. That way, I never run the risk of motion detection missing something. Perhaps BI can do the same?

    Can you daisy chain switches? Is that what you're asking?

    DS-2CD2132F-IS sharpness issue

    I have the 2032 mounted in the EXACT same position the 2132 was mounted previously. The 2032 handles the back light absolutely perfectly. Razor sharp all over the entire picture. The 2132 start becoming fuzzy after 9 or 10 feet.

    DS-2CD2132F-IS sharpness issue

    I won't say it's completely worked out, as it's obvious my 2132 is NOWHERE as sharp all throughout the picture compared to my 2032. It's very noticeable...

    DS-2CD2132F-IS sharpness issue

    Alright, I have an update for everyone. After all the suggestions above, I still was not happy with the sharpness of the 2132. Up close, it's incredibly sharp. But objects roughly 10+ feet away are simply not. So, after work yesterday, I swapped the 2032 with the 2132. As you know, I have...

    2332 Image all messed up

    Tough one. One one hand, we take the risk by buying Chinese cameras for a dirt cheap price, but know we're SOL when they crap out. We can pay double, and buy from a US vendor and have three year warranty. I'd have her send you a second one and apply the $60 credit to it. That way, you have...

    Hikvision 2CD2032 can't connect

    Let's take the PoE switch out of equation. Do you have a power adapter, or perhaps a PoE injector? Let's connect it that way straight to the router and see if you can find it in SADP. Does the camera power up OK? Are you seeing the IR lights come on?

    What size hole should I make when directly mounting 2332?

    Did yours not come with a template? I had one in the box. Made it very easy. It was actually a sticker, so I stuck that on the ceiling and drilled away.

    DS-2CD2132F-IS sharpness issue

    I'm going to take the camera down this weekend, and mount is elsewhere to see if it's merely a result the environment it's currently installed in.

    recommendation for an outdoor cam

    I'll have to take mine down and test it outside to see what on earth the issue could be. But inside my garage, the performance is subpar compared to the 2032.

    Doesn't make any sense to me either... Very strange logic.

    That *is* impressive, especially on Ambien! How did you wire it since I assume you had to go under the footpath?

    Amazon/hikvision

    So I did both and it took just as long to get here. You know that when you buy from Amazon, unless you buy from a US seller, they come from China also, right? The camera from China via Amazon took 10 days and the camera from China via Aliexpress took 9 days.

    If I'm using something like Sighthound, would I still need an SD card in the camera?

    Re: If I'm using something like Sighthound, would I still need an SD card in the came That's good feedback. I actually used Milestone before switching to Sighthound. I could not get Milestone set up right, and mobile viewing never worked. Definitely a more professional software package, and...

    Your 2132 on YouTube seems much sharper throughout the entire screen vs. mine. Do you mind sharing your settings? I'm getting very frustrated at mine!
